Mother finds injured daughter using Find My iPhone - pRICE cUBE - 06-19-2019
https://www.cultofmac.com/632124/iphone-find-my-friends-app-saved-teen-car-crash/
When 17-year-old Macy Smith was late coming home and didn’t answer her phone, her mother knew something was wrong. But she was able to track the girl down thanks to the Find My Friends application on her daughter’s iPhone, even though Smith was trapped in a wrecked car at the bottom of an embankment.
The N. Carolina teenager later wrote on Facebook: “I hydroplaned at 4:00 pm and ran in between 2 trees down an embankment, flipped my car 3 times, and landed in my back seat with my arm pinned in between the car and the ground.”
Smith couldn’t reach her iPhone to respond to her family’s attempts to reach her. But her mother, Catrina Alexander, had the location of daughter’s iPhone via Find My Friends. She and the rest of her family drove there and found her still trapped in the vehicle.

What, no seatbelt…
I’m impressed that a 17 y.o. girl would allow her mother to have tracking capability! I guess it helps to be the one paying the bills.

I'm happy she was found and in apparently good health.

The daughter's car:
She's lucky, all around.

Yikes! Check your tires folks.

Even good tires can not be enough, especially soon after rain starts. The mix of water, oil from vehicles, and other debris on the road surface makes it slick enough to think you have hydroplaned when you actually haven't.

Speedy,
Not unusual for close families. Our 2 grown daughters and one grown son and their faniles each have everyone and grandparents on Find My Friends. That is 6 teenagers and 8 adults on each of those iPhones. The kids want it. One of us needing help has 13 responders available.
We have very good friends whose son has diabetes. That family uses Life 360 for their android phones. Son had a melt down and parents realized it and summoned help remotely. Very likely saved his life. He was reluctant to participate but is thankful he did.

my grown son and i track each other. we are all we have left in the world. i also track with 2 other friends one of whom asked me to track her in order to NOT have her mom track her. she's instructed her mom to call me in a dire emergency if her mom really needs to locate her. some families have interesting dynamics.

Right on. I wouldn't have minded my mother having that info either.
